Currently to try and get the best possible results I am getting 24 results sorted by name (relevance seems to display in a different order each time you ask) and requesting pages 1,2 and 3 of the results.
I then have to do extra filtering to make sure that there actually were that many search results and check for all words matching.

Ideally I would like some way to get search results back that only match all words or a way to get more than the stores maximum results per page.

The only thing I can see which might benefit from is after the initial search,
then he sub categories as some words may pull up too mmany items,

I searched "hauler" for bags
but brought up bits for the tamiya hauler lorry also,
Would have been nice to click on accessories or something to get rid of these other items,

But then again might over complicate things.

All in all will definatly use again next time im after something!
Category information is not usually published in the shops search results so it isnt really possible to incorporate this.
Not without proper access to the shops product databases or some kind of product feed uploading data to me.
